No, John McCain isn’t talking about Democrats. He’s talking about baseball.
What happened? The LA Dodgers won the National League’s Western Division championship, clinching after they defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in Arizona.
So, the Dodgers celebrated.

The Diamondbacks had apparently asked the Dodgers, if they clinched, to leave the field after the game and celebrate in their locker room, not in front of the Diamondbacks fans.
Which they did, as you can see.
But after the champagne soaked in and the fans were gone, the Dodgers remembered that the Diamondbacks have a swimming pool beyond their outfield fence for fans to take a dip in during games. No clue who thought this was a good idea, but it’s there.
So the Dodgers hopped the outfield fence and partied on.

And that’s where it got weird. No less of an Arizona representative than the Honorable US Senator John McCain chimed in.
But this is baseball, so snippy responses must follow. And the ultimate response has to belong to a tweet from an unknown humorist who tweets as if he is the Dodger’s GM … but he’s not. What he is, is capable of responding to Mr. McCain.
